As mentioned, some programs don't like non-shell output. I'm curious if
your program uses any environment variables in determining what it does?
If it does, then redirection could change it, especially if it uses some
for of curses or termios. It was also mentioned that perhaps it is doing
what it is supposed to do, and is just blocking...try adding a print
message in whatever loop it could possibly be stalled at, see if it
continuously puts out the print message.
